When you talk about an old man's past lovers it immediately makes one think of said old man having sex.
When you talk about an old man's past wife/girlfriend, does it also immediatlely make you think of an old man having sex? If it doesn't, consider the posibility that you're piling on sordid prejudice into the otherwise commonplace occurence of gay people being in love. Um.. yeah. Old people having sex is not overly appealing to a 24 year old me. It's got nothing to do with whether the old people in question are gay or not. |

Fade Into You by Mazzy Star, 1993. I win. I'm sorry but my taste in music was set in stone 3 years prior to that. They might as well not exist for me. And being a boomer I know there will always be enough people my age around that there will be an oldies radio station dedicated to us wherever I go. |

Its the fact that you immediately (your words) think about it that's the worry. |
I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Its the fact that you immediately (your words) think about it that's the worry. When I think of salmon I immediately see a picture of myself eating salmon while watching a specific episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a kid. I've wearing a blue shirt and I'm covered in an orange blanket. The episode had a fish-mutant in it and I can picture him perfectly after all these years. I can do this because every time I think of salmon I get this image. Everytime I hear the song Without Me by Eminem I immediately see the recorded WC3 match I was watching one time I heard that song. It's a 2v2, Night Elf + Undead vs Human + Undead. And every time I hear talk about someone's girlfriend/past lovers/sexlife I picture them having sex. Hell, when Ironwood posted about his daughter being born I pictured his avatar having sex. I just visualise everything I think about and my mind wanders all over the place. You can see this in how often I derail/participate in derails. So yeah... stop trying to say I'm homophobic because I visualised Dumbledore having sex with another old man and wasn't at all pleased about the image. |

I thought them antiquing in Vermont, so maybe you are just a garden variety perv.

Yeah Dumbledore being gay is beyond retarded. If he was gay in the books that's fine, but you can't just tack it on after the books are finished.
I don't care if he was gay.
The thing i don't get, is why you make a fictional character gay, and then it never comes up in any of the books, hell, its not even hinted at. So why, in any regard, is it important for the author to make that character gay?
I don't get, at all, what is the reason this bit of character attribute, its never used.
Its an unused Variable that only gets used in a public conference/book signing?
This is exactly my feeling. It is over. The books are done. What you get in the books; that is Dumbledore. That people even asked if Dumbledore ever had a lover... give me a fucking break. Nobody needs to know this shit. Dumbledore being gay probably has less relevance than Ron being lefthanded because at least that a visualisation aid to know that. He didn't interact with anyone in any way that would make him being gay an interesting twist or an "ah so that's why" revelation, it's just a completely irrelevant fact similar to "did Dumbledore ever own a pet as a child?" I don't have a problem with him being gay, or her saying he's gay in the way she did. I have a problem with this being seen as a relevant fact in any way, shape, or form. There are, as we speak, people discussing this very "fact" in loud voices or caps. People are discussing the fact that a fictional character was revealed to be gay outside of the books he appears in because they somehow feel that the life of a fictional character is relevant beyond the scope of the fiction they appear in. This is wrong and disturbing. Can I say that I don't want to hear about an old man's sex life or is that being oldmanaphobic?
Also, I assume everyone is straight, white, male, and 20-30 until I've been told/shown otherwise. I don't see how that is wrong.
Those are my first 3 posts in this thread. You will note that it takes 3 posts and 2 days before I comment on sex at all and even in that post it is not the only thing I talk about. Clearly I'm a perv who thinks about sex all the time and not simply someone who's mind wanders over everything about everything. Go on, take a look at my post history if you like, there's many posts where I comment on something just barely relevant to the topic because my mind has wandered that way and I thought it worth throwing in there. That's what I did here. And I wasn't even serious. I could set lemonparty as my desktop background and it wouldn't bother me. I could probably set tubgirl as my desktop actually. I've spent a lot of time on the internet and very little genuinely shocks or disgusts me anymore. But I guess making flippant comments about whatever crosses my mind is so very badly wrong in serious business. This thread is like politics. I make a flippant comment about oldmanophobic (a word that indicates I'm fully serious, honestly) and one guy is all over me because he thinks I'm trying to make a correlation between gays and old people and somehow excusing something or other. Then another guy jumps on me for being a closet homophobe because I don't want to think about Dumbledore's sex life, and then I'm a perv because I didn't immediately make the gay = antiquing in Vermont connection even though I don't even know where the fuck Vermont is or that people actually do antiquing anymore at all. This rant brought to you by 50k honor earned so far this AV weekend. |

I agreed with you earlier in this thread. Came to your defense even. And I believe Abagadro was also backing you up, in his flippant way (Of all the invective thrown around here 'perv' is not especially harsh). I wouldn't get too worked up.
But.. you play WOW?! Horrible deviant!

That's why I threw in the AV comment. I finished the rant and thought "wow that's a pretty big overreaction there Calantus don'tcha think?" but I let it go cause it was already typed and everything. I've been been doign the same thing over and over again 3-4 times an hour for almost 3 days straight while arguing with morons in BG chat and all on very little sleep so I'm in a fiesty mood.

Ah. Was just wondering. Because, once people refer to you by your internet persona, all goes downhill from there ...  I should know ...  |

Hell, when Ironwood posted about his daughter being born I pictured his avatar having sex.
So, his literal avatar, like she was sticking this little square picture in her hooter? Or Terrence Stamp doing his wife? This is important damn it! |

Why am I picturing Smallville, except with Zod's daughter and in Scotland? |

Fairly sure I've never posted wife pics.
It's kind of a rule I have.

Yeah that's a rule I'd have to agree with. I just wasn't sure if you had or not so used "don't recall" like a sneaky politician.
